What an awesome Christmas story. This book brings history alive laced with beautifully told Christmas storys of the past. This book has the potential to become a classic with as much impact as The Miracle of 34th Street. There is a loving and gentle delivery that is an awesome read for both adults and children. It was great reading about family values, loving relationships and most importantly having faith during our personal struggles. This book was a true joy and blessing to read. --Reader
